In a 2006 article titled "The Inch that Changed Tennis Forever," Rod Cross, a physics professor at the University of Sydney, argued that the innovation in equipment that transformed topspin from a looping, defensive shot into a dive-bombing, offensive play actually happened in the late 1970s, when equipment makers widened the heads of professional rackets from nine inches to 10 (they also dropped wood for metal and eventually graphite).

...made it possible for researchers to discover the origin of the protein interactions that caused stiffening in neurofilaments. “This is a new approach likely to be helpful to many in the fields of biology, biophysics and bioengineering,” said Rosalind A. Segal, a neurobiology professor and the director of the science program at the Radcliffe Institute, in a press release issued by the Institute. Yao’s senior thesis is based on four manuscripts, of which he is the lead author on three and a lead co-author on one. Last month...
...grandmother, beat those odds at Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa.

According to Stanford University statistics professor Thomas Cover, the chances of that happening are smaller than getting struck by lightning (one in a million), being hit by an errant ball at a baseball game (one in 1.5 million) or winning the lottery (one in 100 million, depending on the game).
